If so, there would not be a GGT on the Magnum SRT-8 because it is classified as a truck.
Here are the GGT for Mercedes cars:
2005 C55 AMG - 367HP - $1,300
2005 E55 AMG - 469HP - $1,700
2005 SL55 AMG - 493HP - $2,100
2005 SL600 - 493HP - $2,600
2005 S600 - 493HP - $3,000
and:
BMW 760iL - 438HP $1,300

Agreed, but with this type of vehicle the owners are particular people (usually) who have the $$$ to purchase, operate, insure, and maintain transportation of this type with little concern for a couple thousand dollars....and even if they do notice this tax, it is often considered part of the price of their fun. I don't see it as a deterrent.
